Sgt. Michael Guillory died last week in a vehicle accident while on a mission in Afghanistan. He was 28 years old, and in his sixth tour of duty.

Guillory's remains arrived at an Air Force base in Dover, Del., on Saturday. On Thursday, police and sheriff's deputies escorted his casket from Armstrong International Airport to a Slidell funeral home.

The journey included a stretch of travel along Front Street, where residents paid their respects.
